    Game duration in a nutshell:

    Ranks 5+ 3-4 minutes without Ruin

    Ranks 5+ 4-6 minutes with Ruin

    Ranks 10-6 8-10 minutes no Ruin

    Ranks 10-6 10-12 minutes with Ruin

    Ranks 15-10 10-15 minutes no Ruin

    Ranks 15-10 15-20 minutes with Ruin

    Feel free to correct me if my memory is failing me.

    You are right about red ranks lol. But even with ruin it is less than 5 minutes.

    Lol @ the average game being 3-6 minutes. I'd say 10.

    Well depending on how things go some survivors refuse to leave which takes up another minute to herd them to the gates.

    Honestly, that sounds about right. I rememebr when I started playing this game, and I was on the edge of my seat for breathtaking 20 minutes every game! It just was so intense! Now people just burn through gens in a fraction of a second.

    .... I miss being a noob :(

    I'm a red rank survivor and my games last 10+ minutes on average. No we don't hold the game hostage, once the exit gates are powered we leave. If it's a shorter game it's either because we failed as survs and died fast or the killer failed to apply enough pressure and gens got finished too fast. No I never gen rush on purpose, if I feel a killer if getting rushed I go look for totems/chests because usually a killer that's been getting rushed resorts to camping or dc's so it's better to make the game last longer. A lot of times these killers are unfortunately boosted or have a severe rank difference.

    But I am aware that's only how my swf games go and there are those out there that purposely gen rush, but I don't think it's as bad as killers make out. Just like the amount of campers/tunnellers isn't as bad as survs make out. A lot of times when I see killers accused of camping/tunnelling the blame can be meted out to survivor actions also, like unhooking before killer has time to leave area, gen rushing or looping the killer near a hooked survivor.

    Yeah either their altruism kills them fast or they prolong the game by teabagging.
